The game was a marked difference than the 23-point loss the Clippers handed the Spurs on Dec. 16 in a 115-93 win.

These Spurs attacked the rim, outscoring the Clippers 76-44 in the paint.

Los Angeles, which started down 37 at the beginning of the third quarter, made a 19-2 run and by the time Crawford had nailed a half-court shot at the buzzer that made it 88-70. Despite outscoring SAN ANTONIO by 17 in the third quarter, the Clippers were still down 18.

Crawford's two free throws made it 92-79 with nine minutes in the fourth but it was the closest the Clippers would get.
